John McKay at the Environment and Sustainable Development Committee

I had an interesting conversation with the head of a large NGO. Everyone here would know the name of the NGO. It had entered into a relationship—this is offshore—and its analysis was that it lost donors because of its relationship with the particular corporation. The attitude of its donor base was that, “Well, you're going to get money from corporation X, Y, or Z, so you don't need my money, and you don't need my time.” Have either of you experienced that?
